We've never been birding in the fog before and it was actually a fun adventure. The birds didn't seem as skittish as normal and we enjoyed watching the pheasants and the jackrabbits that usually dart away at the first sign of people.
There's something peaceful and calming about a world blanketed in thick fog. I guess it's because there aren't any outside distractions such as the surrounding views (as spectacular as they are!) to draw your attention away from the birds and wildlife.
I particularly enjoyed the White-faced Ibis showing off its yoga moves for me and the magnificent display of the male Wild Turkeys. And the woodpeckers' constant movement can wear a person out! Oh, and how could I forget the fighting pheasants?!
So many wonderful delights on this unexpectedly amazing day in the fog...
Follow my birding adventures!
